The Spix Macaws who are also known as Blue Macaws have been extinct in the wild for over twenty-one years. The beautiful birds, who are native to South America, lost their fight for survival due to rampant deforestation and the human greed of illegal pouching. Unfortunately, here in Belize, the nation’s most recognizable parrot the Scarlett Macaw has also become an exotic commodity in the illegal pet trade and is under constant threat from illegal poachers.

This bird was extinct in the wild for 20 years. 🥺 The inspiration for the movie "Rio." The Spix's Macaw is one of the rarest birds on Earth. Thanks to intensive conservation, they are finally being reintroduced to their native home in Brazil. A true blue miracle. 💙🇧🇷 #SpixsMacaw #RioMovie #Conservation #wildlenschronicles | WildLens Chronicles
